Chapter 276: Nine Thousand Years Old, He Comes Back to Save Us!
Jiang Zhen stood there blankly, his mind blank. He wanted to hide, but his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't move.
The guards around saw this and rushed over to rescue him without hesitation.
"Lord, be careful."
But it was too late. The long sword was so powerful that it shot straight into Jiang Zhen's eyebrows.
Blood spurted out instantly and flowed down his forehead.
Jiang Zhen only heard a "puff" sound, and his eyebrows felt cold and a sharp pain came over him.
Jiang Wenzhou and his brother were stunned with fear. Their whole bodies were trembling, their limbs were weak, and fear surged over them like a tide.
"Father, father, you cannot die before your great cause is accomplished."
They know that they cannot bear this heavy responsibility.
Jiang Zhen raised his right hand with great difficulty, but halfway into the air, blood spurted out of his mouth and he fell down helplessly.
He lay on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, and countless past events came to his mind like a kaleidoscope.
His original wife, his eldest son, and those he had killed were waving at him.
Jiang Wenzhou was anxious and afraid, "Doctor, call a doctor quickly."
He knelt down in front of Jiang Zhen, anxious and worried, "Father, please don't be in any trouble. You still have a lot of things to tell me."
Jiang Zhen loves power very much. He holds it firmly in his own hands and is also wary of his son.
It can be said that he has absolute control over this team.
Now that something has happened, there is no time to transfer power.
Jiang Zhen's eyes gradually straightened and his pupils dilated, "I...I can't accept it."
He had been calculating and forbearing for so many years, and now he saw that hope was just around the corner.
But it collapsed at the last moment.
After saying this, he reluctantly took his last breath.
A generation of heroes bid farewell in such a grand manner.
Jiang Wenzhou watched his father die with his own eyes, and his vision went dark. It was over, and he had not yet taken over the military power.
"Ahhh, Father."
He roared angrily, "Who killed my father? I will kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a fully armed divine soldier descended from the sky, holding long arrows and shooting arrows like rain, madly reaping the lives of the rebels.
Screams rang out one after another.
The leading man sat on a white horse, dressed in military uniform, his face handsome and stern in the firelight.
He was like a killing god, with an imposing aura. He raised his sword and shouted, "The leader of the rebel army, Jiang Zhen, is dead. If you throw down your weapons and surrender, I will spare his life."
The leader was dead, and the Nine Thousand Year Old Man rushed back with thousands of troops, killing everyone and causing blood to flow like a river.
The rebels were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.
There was a cheer from both inside and outside the stadium, "It's Jiu Qian Sui, he's back!"
The emperor standing on the city wall secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Very good, everything went according to plan.
Yun Zheng looked at the familiar figure, her heart filled with joy, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's him, it's him."
All the ministers were overjoyed, "Great, Prince Rui is back, we are saved."
At the critical moment, we still have to look to Prince Rui.
But soon, their smiles froze.
Jiang Wenzhou shouted arrogantly, "Prince Rui, you're back too late. Xihua Gate has already been breached by our army."
"Your rear has been lost and we are attacking you from both sides. You are doomed."
"Brothers, charge! Charge in and join the other team. Victory is at hand."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people on the city wall changed.
"What? Xihua Gate has been breached? Oh no, my wife and children are still in the palace."
Everyone became anxious when they thought about the imperial city being breached and the bandits rushing around killing and burning people.
"Your Majesty, several princes are in Chuxiu Palace. We must go and rescue them immediately."
Moreover, not only the princes, but also the families of important officials temporarily lived in various palaces.
Once chaos breaks out, these people will be the first to suffer.
Before the emperor could say anything, the fourth prince spoke first.
"Nonsense, the most important thing now is to protect the emperor. As long as the emperor is here, the royal family of Daqi is here, and the world is here."
The Minister of Revenue's expression turned grim. "Fourth Prince, what do you mean? Are you going to give up on rescuing the other princes?"
The fight for the throne has always been a life-and-death struggle, with blood being drawn on every move, but everyone has to pretend on the surface.
There is no brotherly love, but you cannot show it and make the world laugh at you.
The Fourth Prince spoke confidently, "It's not that I want to give up, but the safety of the Emperor is the most important thing. How can we spare the troops to rescue others now?"
He bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone, the overall situation is important."
Listening to his high-sounding words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
This Fourth Prince is so cold and indifferent. Who would want to have such a master in the future?
The emperor looked at the fourth prince deeply, with an ambiguous meaning.
The Fourth Prince, not knowing what he was thinking, suddenly asked, "Princess Jinyun, what do you think?"
Yun Zhen said calmly, "The Emperor will make the final decision on matters concerning the royal family."
She doesn't want to get involved and doesn't want to take sides.
The Fourth Prince's face darkened, "You don't know how to appreciate my kindness."
Yun Zheng seemed not to hear and quietly watched the fierce fighting between the two armies under the city wall.
Her eyes followed the familiar figure. Wherever the man pointed his finger was the battlefield where the soldiers were strangling the rebels in front of the battle line.
It was great that he was back, and this moment finally felt real.
Perhaps her eyes were too passionate, the figure raised his head and looked over.
The moment he saw her, Li Wuyang smiled brightly and nodded slightly at her.
The corners of Yun Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, her heart filled with the joy of reunion.
On the other side, the emperor and his court officials were discussing rescue matters. The fourth prince was somewhat unwilling, but he did not forcibly stop them. His eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Suddenly, he looked at Yun Zheng who was standing quietly at the side, walked over, and said in a low voice, "Princess Jinyun, let's form an alliance."
Yun Zheng turned around, a look of shock on her face. "What? You and I? Alliance?"
Is he crazy? This is before the battle! And they are always at odds.
The Fourth Prince smiled faintly, "Princess Jinyun, don't worry. Although you have a grudge against my mother, I am a magnanimous prince and will not take it to heart."
It's really unpleasant to see someone so eager to win people's hearts.
Yun Zheng felt something was amiss and calmly asked, "How do we form an alliance?"
An inexplicable light flashed in the Fourth Prince's eyes, "I will ensure that you marry smoothly into the Rui Palace, and I will be your backer in the future."
"You and the Ninth Prince will protect me and become my most loyal subordinates."
Yun Zheng was a little confused. Where did he get the confidence from? "Fourth Prince, why are you so anxious?"
The Fourth Prince's eyes flashed, "A man of insight is a hero. Now is the best time for you to come over."
"After a while, I won't be short of people. You're in business, so you should know that timing is very important."
There was something hidden in his words, a hint of threat, which made Yun Zheng very uncomfortable. "But the emperor has several other princes. You are not the only choice."
The Fourth Prince said meaningfully, "Soon, I will be the only choice."
He was so confident, as if everything was under his control, and he had judged in advance that those princes could not compete with him.
The problem is that those princes were just sick, not dead.
Yun Zheng's heart moved. He was so sure. Could it be that he did something?
"Why do you say that?"
